Hang in there brother. I have been there myself and it always gets better. Sometimes it's days, sometimes it's weeks before my ears/brain will go back to normal after an episode. Your obvious issue right now is stress and anxiety. I would suggest you talk to a doctor and see if you can get help...

As far as hyperacusis, don't over protect your ears. Go for long walks outdoors and let your ears take in normal everyday sounds. I would recommend doing that as much as possible. Good luck.

Kevin Hogan wants to sell you a book. [emoji1]. Man I've had T for over 5 years. There was a time that I obsessed over it, constantly listening for it. It would wear me out. Those days are long gone thank goodness. I still have T but the obsession has faded. The first trick that helped me when I...

My friend I have all the same symptoms from time to time. Seems to be worse during the winter but happens during other seasons as well. I have found that trying to figure out triggers creates more stress and anxiety than the actual condition does. I've decided I have a hearing condition that has...

Another common denominator of tinnitus. I think it's just that it's quiet at night with no distractions. I use a pillow speaker that goes between pillow and mattress. Plug in my iPhone and listen to "sleep machine" app. It doesn't mask but gives me something else to focus on.

I consume around 300mg of caffeine a day with no ill effects. I really have found no food triggers in my world. What I have found, maybe, is that I have more spikes when I'm hungry. Once I'm on empty I start getting the 5-10 second spikes. Hmmm[emoji848], T is very mysterious. [emoji57]

Also, Pillowsonic stereo pillow speaker works well with iPhone sleep machine app.

Good ear plugs. I wear them to concerts and monster truck shows. http://www.earpeace.com

There is absolutely no figuring out T. Once you commit yourself to that way of thinking, T becomes a lot easier to deal with. IMO.

I take aleve and/or Advil quite often and have never noticed a change in T. You should be fine. I have had T for 6 years. It was rough at first but my life is back to normal now. Take the advice above and you'll do well.

This would make sense due to the fact most of us can clench our teeth and get a change in pitch and volume of our T.

Laperson, Your original post is spot on, for me. I have had T for 5 years and have experienced all you spoke of. Especially, chasing of the tail. Anyway, great post... Thanks

mjnsr, Your post are intriguing, to say the least. Please keep the updates coming.

That hurt my brain to read...:)
